Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to find the slope of the given line. You can do this by rearranging the equation so that it is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
-8x - 5y = -7
-5y = 8x - 7
y = -8/5x + 7/5
The slope of this line is -8/5.
The slope of a line that is perpendicular will be the negative reciprocal. You have to change the sign, and basically flip the numerator upside down. The slope of the perpendicular line will be 5/8
-8/5 = 8/5 = 5/8
The slope of a line that is parallel will be equal. This means that the slope will be -8/5.
